Everyone can be great

I have this saying on my mind from watching Praise the Lord, Donnie McKlurkin was quoting Oprah but it turns out that the original author is none other than Martin Luther King Jr. Anyhu, here it is:

" Not everyone could be famous but everyone can be great because greatness is determined by service"

Then Blaise Pascal said " Man's greatness lies in his power thoughts"

James D. Ericson adds

"We become what we expect to become. Greatness can be achieved only if we expect it from ourselves and from others! "

Kool stuff

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done

Truth is awesome. Didn't even notice I didn't believe God wants to make this world better till now. I thought God just wants us to make heaven however way possible.

Its so much easier to think like that " thats just how things are" and we are simply meant to just to do the best we can and accept what is dealt.

What a lie from the Devil!

Thanks to a great Bible study I now understand better my authority in Christ and that God wants to change this world through us you and me. For real, really change it not just put a bandage to stop the bleeding.

Yup, God wants to do it

He wants to heal people, He wants to deliver people, He wants justice established, to have the hungry fed. He wants us to be happy (joyful)

" Thy kingdom Come"... How, through me and you.

I've just realized that its a serious thing God want to do here. So lets get serious about it too

Here's a poem I wrote a few months ago, after " Thy kingdom come" ... is

Thy will be done

Four words in a tier

Harnessed between a tear and fear

The will my knowledge clings to uphold

The same your leading seeks to dislodge

Why free, how free? without a choice to retain

Note this is me! before Thee, why my wants should I refrain?

Dead to cheer, hope or aspiration

Yet only alive can I praise with celebration, amiss desperation

Time stealing rationales of logical critique

Try to revive the aura of value, my mystique

No life, yet I live

No breath yet choking with zeal ?...

Diffident, I watch me in my very coffin and walk ...

Every idealistic diva principle never to talk ...

So, I pray...

May

Days in wait, boosts meager dreams to the crescendo of existence

Ever increasing knowledge of you, my persistence

May

Zeal for your house consume me

As in silence and meekness I pursue thee

May

Your Spirit of excellence drive me to perfection

For a reflected glory of a divine conception

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

1st step in the rite direction

So I ended up creating new blogs each time I wanted to add a new post, now I have 3 with seperate links.

Anihu since this is a follow up to this blog on dreams I'd just continue and finally revert to BigR picture.

On sunday, my dear Egy and I organized our first ever Worship nite " A Date with the King" and it was great. Just seeing all the people worship was such an amazing feeling. It so weird but after it all I can say I feel fulfilled. I told God if this is the kind of thing you want me to do let me know once and for all. This sense of " Yey!!!" kinda helps.

Me of all people standing to declare to all who He is and what He can do, and encouraging others to same is less of a dream now that the first step has been taken.

God help me to continue giving You what you are due. Thank you for you

Much love

Memories and Dreams

Anyone like me, finding it hard to dream sometimes. Countless instigators reduce your prime to fulfilling basic necessities of life. Many times I wonder what the future could hold.

Just thinking, could this stem from having calculator all the time, calculating odds or too much critical thinking, determining if there is adequate justification to conclude my hypothesis as true...

Have been going through some extensive teaching on vision and unlimited possibilities within each human being n I believe it now more than ever.

Given the millions of sperm in every ejaculation, ( approx 6 million) the chances of me being me, with all those conditions were pretty slim n here I am today. From this I can say 'Lack of ambition is an act of selfishness', prideful.

When we lack ambition, a desire to achieve certain goals what we are saying is I don't care what happens to everybody else, as long as I'm comfy I'm ok. The way I c it for example is, if I am satisfied with my life "comme tel" - ( as is), I am not considering those who I was created to impact when I explore my full potential. Its like stealing, I am robbing the all those people of what I was chosen to do over other possible millions who didnt make it to the egg...lol

On the other hand another extreme of ambition could be nested in deep rooted selfishness but thats not what I'm talking about.

I know its a little weird from that angle but people around are waiting to be held by you, wrapped in your arms and experience God's life changing presence through you. ( That kinda gives me a sense of worth ...)

In reconciling with the past, by which I mean accepting whatever's happened as past taking God word as truth I am making a resolve to make the 12-20 breaths of air I take in every minute count.

What stops us from dreaming? really. For the woman who was blessed with oil by Elijah, she was only able to fill as many jars as she n her son brought, as much as her expectation was coz nothing great happens by accident.

With that freedom to dream, drowning fear of failure with God's word, revelation of purpose is certain, hence we are all catalyst in our environment.

I'd rather be Joseph the dreamer than Thomas the doubter but better yet Nathaniel, who asked expressed his concerns and observation freely asking questions and seeking clarification.

Over the bridge we go from living on memory lane to living our dreams. I rest assured Christ who is my bridge made of solid rock is firm enuf n will lead me safely.
